Thanks Joe, I'll sort my team out then join the league. I agree that interest wanes over the course of a season but I reckon I could give it my full attention for the world cup!
please log in to view this image Okay, so then this is the best way to set up the starting XI, with the eleven players whose games are earliest on the pitch. Then, say if Aranguiz doesn't do very well on the 13th, I can take him out, losing whatever points he got, and replace him with Di Maria who plays on the 15th. I can also change Di Maria to captain when I do that, if I fancy. Didn't expect a fantasy football game to make me think this much.
Alright done: Lloris (c) Srna Koscielny Papastathopoulos Rakitic Lallana Pogba Shaqiri Cuadrado Ronaldo Dzeko With a bench of poop aside from Palacious, Aboubakar and Makoun. Pretty confident a strong 11 will beat off a strong squad though.
Pretty jealous of your midfield depth there. Although I don't see Koke as being more than a sub for spain.
Sorry for the triple post! Anyone else having trouble finding the league? I've joined it and everything but when I click on "my leagues" nothing shows up, am I being daft?
No, you will be in it - it is another wrinkle yet to have been ironed out. Yesterday they had to alter the rules... Basically if you try and add yourself to the league again but it doesn't ask for a password you are already included.
If you want a simple alternative competition, I also have a league in this Australian one: http://worldcupfantasy.foxsports.com.au/my-leagues/1963/join/?autojoin-code=9157-1962 The pin is 9157-1962
The only annoying thing about the rule is that you may put in players just because they are playing first, they could do OK and then instead of risking it for another player (who goes onto score a shed load) you are then kicking yourself for not making the change!......or you sub out one player for another who gets sent off! First round I will go with the strongest team and then maybe tinker in the other rounds.
Cool, I'm in. This one lets you pick pretty much anyone! GK: Neuer, Benaglio D: Baines, Jagielka, Kompany, Zabaleta, Dani Alves M: Vidal, Di Maria, Guarin, Fayzulin, Fetfatzidis F: Messi, Fred, Hulk
Ah good. Yeah I tried registering an account but it told me I'd already made one with my current email account, tried out a few old passwords and there I am avatar and all.
Well, that took ages. Barry Zabaleta - Koscielny - Vertonghen - Varane Di Maria - Valbuena - Oscar Neymar - Aguero (c) - Lukaku Got Lallana, Fayzulin and Kokorin on the bench among a bunch of Iranians/Algerians/Hondurans. Don't know if I've joined the league or not though.
